yeah niz im with cam! about the jash thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah and cam but if i get a dump pipe to suit right, don't ya think it would make another place for exhaust leakage? that why i was thinkin of sellingmy apexi front and just getting a new dump/front made up!

i agree coilovers are awesome! but i can't justify paying that much unless i was harcore track racer! so i think i just go for the aftermarket shocks and springs!

dont really have itme to chase thats why i now use who i do - seems to be very thorough and has the time on his hands to be that way.

I'll get it done just got to find time n money - but first the blow off valve problem - one step at a time - should see the shopping list i have for my car - i mean just even the essentials its huge - need my brake pads replaced soon too or i might end up under a truck!

niz i have a blow off valve that i wanna sell! it's a ssr blow off valve styled like blitz! bit fatter though! apparently very loud (look at me loud) hehe although never put it on my car! if ya want you can take it off me to see if it will fix your problem, if it does you can buy it if ya want, if it doesn't then chuck it back at me in a big tantrum! ;)

adrian :D

Adrian - ok, I get what ur on about now - and i agree.. u should be able to get rid of the Apexi pipe and use the proceeds to get the dump/front combo done?

Niz - understand completely.. thats one thing i hate, chasing people so they can take my $$... fair call..

sorry niz it ain't a re-circulative BOV, it's a atmo-venting BOV :D

but i'll have a talk to a few mates might be able to get you one at a good price i'll see what i can do! why is ur stock BOV playing up or sumfin?

adrian ;)

mines aftermarket - there when i got the car - doesnt make a noise its just leaking air at the moment so its playing havoc with my idling and keeping the revs low so once i get that fixed then i can get it tuned and hopefully it'll be back to its feisty old self - its being sluggish lately and its boring the hell outta me ;)

hmmm wouldnt mind a bit of a ricey loud one. yeah keep your ears out for me anyway - might start looking for one saturday morning because i just want my car back to normal ASAP.

adjust the spring tension on the bov you got at moment? have you tried that? that should stop it leakin! just don't adjust it too much that it's too tight for the pressure to release when your off the throttle! are you going to auto salon niz? cam? if you guys are i'll be there saturday, tell me in advanced adn i'll bring the bov along with me on sat incase your nearby i can drop it off!

adrian ;)

going on Sunday. Hmmm spring tension - me under bonnet equals disaster - would rather be able to blame someone else if anything goes wrong but i may have to have a look anyway if its easy enough. Where abouts are u adrian? arent u thornlie way?

i'm in east cannington i go to thornlie tafe! what type of bov is the one ur using? coz i'm sure if you adjust the spring tension make it just a bit tighter it will stop leaking! coz you haven't upped your boost pressures or anything have ya?

adrian ;)

ahh k.. so the aftermarket one is hanging off the std mount then I take it?

I'm with Adrian - pull it off, clean it and tighten up the spring pressure.. Maybe get your mechanic to do it? Shouldn't take him more than an hour..

i think the boost is up a little more than standard ;) honestly i thought everything was standard apart from the obviousl lowering etc in my car when i bought it - but ive learnt lately that all is not what it seems - it has been played with. So im still learning what exactly is under that bonnet - i assumed that BOV was std til i was recently told otherwise - its nothing ricey looks like fairly standard - havent really taken a close look for myself lately - havent had time might have a look see this weekend see if i can find out make etc

you can do it yourself niz if ya have the right tools!

you probably wouldn't even need to take it off just adjust the spring tension there is normally a lil knob on top of the valve near where the hose from inlet plenum goes if i do remember rightly!

adrian ;)

    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
